Oil and Vinegar Vessels

Monday, October 06th, 2008

Oil and Vinegar Vessels have been adapted for the 21st century. Olive oil and vinegar are no longer buzz words; they are a huge part of our diet. The U.S. has been behind the curve with olive oil and vinegar but is making huge strides to get in step with the international diet trend that is thousands of years old. Cooking with olive oil to produce healthy unsaturated fat dishes for the U.S. tables in restaurants and homes has taken the nation by storm. Cooking with olive oil in the Mediterranean has caused a global spread of the use of olive oil to nations that do not even grow olives. The heart healthy olive oil is recommended for salads, pasta, meat rubs and marinades in addition to replacing other vegetable or animal oils for cooking. The oil and vinegar vessels need to be functionable.

Balsamic vinegar is the natural companion to olive oil that compliments the cooked or uncooked dish. Balsamic vinegar is a “wine like” product, produced with grapes, aged in oak casks, with no alcohol, and valued by the oldest age. Balsamic vinegar becomes thicker as it gets older and takes less to flavor your dish. The quality balsamic vinegar starts in an oak barrel and is stored for a minimum of 4 years, and then is distributed in glass bottles. The balsamic vinegar vessel for dispensing should always be glass to prevent a taste robbing acidic reaction with a metal container. Balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing for salads is the most popular use for this vinegar. Bread dipping with balsamic vinegar and olive oil is quickly over taking the popularity of dressing, but both uses are growing exponentially worldwide! Balsamic vinegar and olive oil for bread dipping are no longer “just Italian” cuisine. Fine restaurants and family tables serve this delicacy as an accoutrement to the main dish regardless of the dish’s national origin.

Vinaigrette has become very popular. The combining of oil and vinegar to make an emulsion for salads and desserts have recipe authors rushing to the printer to be published. The combining of oil and vinegar gives a different texture and taste than when used separately. Every imaginable type of oil and vinegar has been used to make vinaigrettes. The vinaigrette serving vessel or mixing bottle has perplexed servers for years; do you use two separate bottles for each function, a combo bottle or a bowl and a bottle?

Dipping dish vessels specifically for oil and vinegar are new to the U.S. But dipping dishes at the restaurant and home are becoming a must. Choosing a dipping dish that distributes both the oil and vinegar precisely as the consumer desires it can be a challenge. Some imported dipping dishes can only be used for decorative purposes due to lead paint. Bread dipping has become such a popular event at all tables that this appetizer crosses all national cuisines.

There are very few dispensers for oil and vinegar vessels that are functional, convenient and pleasing in the table presentation. Until recently, the same type of vessels that have been used for hundreds of years, held the oil and or vinegar at the stove or on the table. Incorporating eye appeal and functionality, Jincor introduces oil and vinegar vessels that have astounded restaurants and homes worldwide. The traditional oil and vinegar cruets are found in a pair. Jincor has designed a pair of conventional Drizzle Cruets that eliminate the “drips”, and drizzle the gourmet nectars precisely where you want it! A new oil and vinegar Grape Cruet combines both liquids in one vessel with European design and elegant see through glass. The Vinaigrette Dressing Bottle has been designed to mix the oil and vinegar emulsion and then serve the vinaigrette from the same bottle with a drizzle spout. Dipping dishes abound, some with lead paint from outside the U.S., some with quaint reservoirs and easily chipped. Jincor has a designed a revolutionary, restaurant grade bread Dipping Dish that has eye appeal as well as being highly functional. This dipping dish has the ability to keep oil separate or blend with the vinegar. The floral image produced while filling, gives the viewer a uniquely different design with each use. These are extremely unique one of a kind quality vessels ideal for any gift occasion.

A note about storing gourmet Oils.

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

All oils are best kept (or stored) away from heat and light. This is especially so for unrefined oils such as extra virgin olive oil. A cool dark pantry or cupboard is the best location for olive oil when it is not on the prep counter being used as an ingredient.Glass, porcelain, and stainless steel make the best decanters or containers. Glass drizzle cruets are an ideal decanter. Never store olive oil in a plastic or reactive metal container. There are certain gourmet oils that are unstable and should be refrigerated, i.e. walnut and hazelnut oils. Fine gourmet olive oil is not an oil to store in the frig.

Glass oil and vinegar cruets are a perfect gourmet gift selection for any occasion. olive oil storage, olive oil decanter, drizzle cruets

Cooking with olive oil.

Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

oil and vinegarExtra-virgin Spanish olive oil is suggested to cook with. First year, quality extra virgin olive oil should be added to dishes as a garnish after they have been cooked. You can add olive oil to soups or entrées as a condiment, at the table. Use a drizzle cruet to add olive oil sparingly while cooking or garnishing food. When barbecuing meat or fish it’s best to add quality extra virgin olive oil after cooking, unless the olive oil is an ingredient of a the marinade.The flavor of olive oil will change when heated to 140° F. Olive oil will begin to burn at 280° F. Frying foods at high temperatures is not recommended using olive oil. A peanut oil or rice bran oil would make a good substitute for frying foods such as potatoes or fish. Heating olive oil, (while cooking) will change the taste and character of the olive oil substantially. Never heat olive oil to excessive temperatures. Do not keep olive oil to reuse after it has been brought to the smoking point, as overheating olive oil can produce toxins. cooking with olive oil, olive oil condiment

Storing olive oil in the kitchen

Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

oil and vinegarYou can store olive oil in a ceramic or stainless steel container. Glass is usually the best choice and also the most practical. Do not store olive oil in a metallic container like copper, tin, or iron. A Plastic container will add a plastic taste or flavor to the olive oil over time. Storing olive oil in your glass drizzle cruet is ideal if placed in the pantry when not in use.It is best to place a storage container of olive oil in the pantry; a cool dark place is optimum. Olive oil that has been affected by heat or intensive light will have a copper hue and will have the characteristic of oxidization. Olive oil that is stored properly can keep up to two years. There are some experts who say that olive oil can be kept indefinitely under perfect conditions. Remember olive oil does not improve while it ages. It is not like wine. Olive oil is best used during the first year after it is pressed. Olive oil is most flavorful, during the first two months after pressing. Never refrigerate olive oil. This will impede the flavor and interrupt the active life of olive oil.storing olive oil, drizzle cruet

Where does the expression ‘drizzle’ come from?

Friday, September 01st, 2006

olive oil bottleA cruet will drizzle olive oil perfectly regardless which kitchen it is in, yours, or the fancy one on TV’s Gourmet Food Show.

When gourmet chefs first implored us to drizzle olive oil on garden salads and on grilled fish, the problem wasn’t just that drizzle is a silly word, but good quality olive oil was hard to find. For decades bland tasting, golden olive oils have dominated the market. They may have been fine for frying, but no where near good enough to garnish a newly grilled salmon. Now we are seeing an offering of quality olive oils. Retailers are stocking better Italian and Spanish olive oils. So the drizzle effect can continue ever so abundantly.

But what is meant by “drizzle” over this…?

A quick look at the proper definition will help. 

driz·zle
[driz-uhl]verb, -zled, -zling, noun
–verb
1. to rain gently and steadily in fine drops; sprinkle: It drizzled throughout the night.
2. to fall in fine drops.
3. to rain or let fall in fine drops; sprinkle: He drizzled honey over the fruit.
4. to pour in a fine stream: Drizzle melted butter over the breadcrumb topping.
–noun 5. a very light rain.
6. Meteorology. precipitation consisting of numerous, minute droplets of water less than 1/50 in. (0.5 mm) in diameter.
 â€”Related forms drizzly, adverb driz·zle (drzl) v. driz·zled, driz·zling, driz·zles   

To rain gently in fine, mistlike drops. v. tr.
To let fall in fine drops or particles: drizzled melted butter over the asparagus.
To moisten with fine drops: drizzled the asparagus with melted butter.
 n.
A fine, gentle, misty rain.

[Perhaps from Middle English drisning, fall of dew, from Old English -drysnian, …]

With a definition of ‘drizzle’ fresh before us, now we can see what the food writers and gourmet chefs have been intending us to ‘dew’ with our olive oil. drizzle olive oil, drizzle cruet, gourmet drizzler
